Billy,
I have seen this on some planes. Start from the rear and work your way forward over the entire wing? Sealing the hing gaps I assume.

I had another flight today on the APC 6.5 x 6.5. Was nervous about the launch and how much it'd torque roll, but it was fine, maybe a 30 degree tilt, or something close anyway (rh wing went from 3 to 2 if you imagine a clock....), but other than that it went straight out. I'm hoping the launch on the Graupner last week was a combination of errors, mainly a bad throw and too much throttle.

The APC pulled more amps than the Graupner in flight, closer to about 78a, RPM was a bit over 21000. Motor seemed cool after landing, just under 35c/95f acording to the infrared thermometer, batteries were a little cooler by about 1 degree c or so. So I'm guessing that's good.

I need a bigger field though, this thing gobbles up sky faster than anything I've had before . Climb rate still impress me too (yes...I know I'm still using a 4s prop ). I can't get a long enough run in this field, speed runs are from 1 side only heading towards trees, the same tree's that confiscated my last FJ and then gave it to someone else, so I tend to pull up early and get away from them. Morpar suggested a 6s run to get a good reading, I'm strugglig to get 3s ATM. There is a gap in the trees in which you can go around them and come through from the back, but I haven't got the bottle....yet. I used to do it with my old FJ so I just need to get back into doing it. I'll film it someday and you'll get the idea.

Which leads me on to cams. Somewhere I've got a 808 key fob cam, but I can't find it, so I'm thinking of replacing it. Has anybody tried the sunglasses cam, I figure I'll look less of a twonk wearing them over a keyfob taped to a baseball cap. I'm thinking they'd be better as the baseball cap way is a bit hit or miss putting the cap on correctly to capture the plane in flight. So anybody tried the sunglasses cam?
